TMC Introduces SOA Blueprints; Public Review Open
The Middleware Company is introducing SOA Blueprints, an effort done in conjunction with BEA Systems to create best practices for developing applications using service-oriented architectures. SOA Blueprints contains an open specification, third-party expert involvement, and upcoming implementations using multiple technologies.
SOA Blueprints models a fictitious corporation selling a generic service, GeneriCo, which has multiple real-world applications described in an architecturally neutral way, permitting implementations to come from the middleware community using a variety of technologies including Web Services, J2EE and .NET. GeneriCo includes a unified service-oriented security provisioning system, a multi-function employee portal and an HR application. These utilize services that depend upon databases and legacy systems.
The SOA Blueprints specification is now open for public review at www.MiddlewareRESEARCH.com/soa-blueprints. The community can get involved by posting their feedback here or contacting The Middleware Company off of the SOA Blueprints Web site. SOA Blueprints is designed to be expandable and to grow over time, so the applications currently defined are not static. Third party experts from the community, BEA, Collaxa, CapeClear and CGEY have been involved in pre-release feedback.
The first implementation will be based upon BEA WebLogic Platform 8.1 with early releases on display at BEA eWorld 2004 next week. TMC is also interested in starting a community-based open source J2EE implementation. Individuals interested in participating in this effort, should get in touch with Steve Wilkes, steve@middleware-company.com.
TMC and BEA also plan to engage dozens of SOA technology firms. SOA software leaders will be invited to participate in the expert review, endorse this effort and to explore areas of the specification that can be implemented using their technology. The SOA Blueprints Web site will promote and document each of these implementations done by various vendors. The use of a specification to define GeneriCo allows organizations to compare and contrast multiple implementations using different products."This effort fortifies how SOA can be applied to real world problems," said Salil Deshpande, CEO at The Middleware Company. "The SOA Blueprints specification captures realistic enterprise scenarios allowing the middleware industry to create, compare, and contrast multiple implementations using diverse technologies. SOAs are increasingly becoming the de-facto standard for enterprise systems, but until now, there has been little documentation on their best practices." See the TMC Press Release
